“We, as oddsmakers, make odds based on facts and stats, not on hope,” DraftKings Director of Trading Johnny Avello told The Post.

The Rangers are still getting no love in the sports betting world, being installed as +130 underdogs against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals.Director of Trading Johnny Avello told The Post. “That doesn’t mean the Rangers can’t win The Cup, but when we look at the two teams, the Panthers are the better team on paper, slightly.

Meanwhile other books may have opened the Panthers at worse odds, leading to a stream of money coming in at any book with better than a -150 on the Panthers.“There’s probably going to be more Ranger money as they have been all year long…They are still the biggest hazard we have by far, even more so now,” Avello said while chuckling. “We don’t worry about that, though, we just make the odds as fair as possible to get two way action from recreational and sharp money.

The Panthers are currently -140 favorites compared to the Rangers +118 at Caesars, substantially lower than most of the market. BetMGM did not return a more specific request about which players, in particular, were not playing up to capability.
